The ATOMIC SHOWDOWN...APX vs. Quantum

Just for the record- doubling cone area or power gives a 3db gain.. doubling both or 4x of one gives a 6db gain... 6db gain is twice the sound pressure...
I think I did a pretty good job of relating that theory to possible real world results...
current clipping with the reduced load, power compression, and the difference in resonance and impedance are the real world factors involved in actual spl gain...
If the amp wasn't current clipping, I would expect anywhere from no gain at all to more then 2db as I said earlier...

In fact, in a couple of the cases the "lower" class is louder.
Theory is all nice and fine, but in the end all competitors care about are real world numbers.
btw.. this thread is closed. The discussion is interesting but the name calling needs to stop.
